Not a bad set of results today, could have done with Scunthorpe not winning. Big game on Monday now
Yep. More than happy enough with that today.
Keeps Crawley and Notts County down there and Crewe in the mix too, who have the worst goal difference of the lot (apart from Yeovil).
Minimum two wins from the last six, cant see this being much of a problem
Monday:
Chesterfield v Crewe (tough one for Crewe there. Chesterfield very much in the play-off positions)
Crawley v Oldham (Oldham just drew with Bristol City)
Orient v Gillingham (Fancy Orient in this one to be honest)
Notts County v City (A draw would be fine I think. A City win and we will be well clear)
Port Vale dropping into it too - was hoping they would have picked up something, just to nail down Colchester at the bottom. I'm off to review Walsall v Notts County, to see if Notts County have picked up any injuries, suspensions (how sad is that?!)
This the most depressing conversation in the history of CCFC!

Lose on Monday and we have had it.

Big game ain't it!!
No, getting the horn about a Div 3 relegation battle is very depressing!!*Realistic
Wouldn't say we'd be clear, can't see us winning at home!
Looks like we may need 52/53 points for safety. It's going to be the highest total for a long time.

Yea I'm targeting 53 for safety
Whats even sadder is I wait for your report....... Hurry up
Can't play any worse their than we did last year, people heading back to the pub at halftime.Our recent record against Notts County is not great, I really hope the boys can do the business on Monday

What I am personally worried about is the reborn goalscoring machine that is Billy Daniels. Since we let him go he's been on fire, scoring here, there and everywhere. Oh how we could use the future 2018/2019 Barclays Premier League player of the year right now!
Think I made it till about 55 mins.Can't play any worse their than we did last year, people heading back to the pub at halftime.
Have to say, after the Orient game I was a little concerned, but after yesterday's set of results, I feel quite a bit more confident about our predicament.
If we just take Monday's game in isolation, it has now become totally a must win situation for Notts County. Of that there is no doubt. They are at home and they need to win.
A draw for them will still leave them entrenched in the bottom 4, whatever the results are elsewhere. I think this suits us perfectly. I think we are best when we are on the counter attack and we have more space on breakaways.
Obviously a win for us would be the ideal scenario, but looking at the league table, a draw would keep us out of the bottom 4, whatever happens in the other games. A draw and we will definitely still be out of the bottom 4 come Monday evening and with Colchester at home on Saturday to come, we have to believe that, that game gives us the opportunity to nab the 3 points and pull us further clear.
I think the fact that we now know a draw will keep us out of the bottom 4, takes a degree of pressure off us going into Monday's round of matches.
And because a draw is all that is needed to keep us out of the relegation places, that now makes me more confident of us taking all 3 points from this fixture.
A loss wouldn't be the end of the matter but for me this game is more of a must not lose match than the Leyton Orient match was
